OF QUARANTINE LAWS Commissioner of Horticulture Jeffreys Issues Report A general appropriation bill, signed by the governor on May 1st, provided the sum of $10,000 for the two fiscal years beginning July 1, 1911, to be used by the horticultural commissioner in publishing reports, bulletins, circulars, and general information upon matters relating to the fruit and kindred industries of the state. This appropriation is nearly double that provided by previous legislatures for this purpose and it was made at the unanimous request of the fruit growers. Under the former appropriations, but little more than a few stated reports could be published, and often the funds were even insufficient for printing the regular reports. In recognition of the spirit shown by the legislature and the chief executive in making this appropriation, it is the intention of the commissioner of horticulture, says J. W. Jeffreys in a report received at this office, to publish all official documents that may be of value to the fruit growers, the state and county horticultural officials and the industry at large which they represent. It is hoped by this means to bring into closer relationship and cooperation the various elements concerned in any way with the production and selling of the orchard and farm products of the state. These circulars will be issued as often as matters of importance may develop in the administration of the office, or valuable information be obtainable upon subjects relating to the economies of fruit growing and during its sessions were given the authority to appoint quarantine guardians who were to receive not more than $2.00 per day to be paid by the owners of orchards and other places under quarantine regulations. The legislature of 1903 abolished the state board of horticulture, substituting in lieu therefor a law creating the state commission of horticulture as it now exists. But the author of the law of 1903 neglected to include the appointment of quarantine guardians, and from that time until last March, no provision was made for these officials. On the 25th day of March, last, Gov. Johnson signed assembly bill No. 965 (Cogswell), authorizing the state commissioner of horticulture to commission all county horticultural commissioners, their deputies and inspectors as quarantine guardians, thus restoring these valuable officials to the service of the state. On April 6 the commissions were issued. Neither the state nor the county horticultural laws fix the du'es or establish the responsibilities of the state quarantine guardians. Each of these acts simply authorizes the appointment of these officials in the following words: "The state commissioner of horticulture may issue commissions as quarantine guardians to the county horticultural commissioner, the deputies and inspectors appointed by him." If no other authority were given, the functions and responsibilities of these guardians would be to act as merely deputies of the state commissioner's office. But these laws authorize commissions to be issued, evidently for the purpose of giving distinctiveness and formal authority to the office of guardian.

It is hoped by this means to bring into closer relationship and cooperation the various elements concerned in any way with the production and selling of the orchard and farm products of the state. These circulars will be issued as often as matters of importance may develop in the administration of the office, or valuable information be obtainable upon subjects relating to the economics of fruit growing and kindred interests. The pamphlets are intended to be helpful to our quarantine officials; to infrm the officials of other states and countries upon the policies of our quarantine and other divisional work; to suggest the interpretation and application of our horticultural laws as understood by the commissioner, and to set before the people in convenient form such records as may be of use to them in their relation to the horticultural offices of the state. This bulletin will be devoted to the administration of the quarantine division of the state commission of horticulture, and the laws relating thereto. The statutes of California contain but two measures governing the commission of horticulture, namely, the act of 1899, popularly known as the "State Quarantine Law," and the act establishing the present state commission of horticulture, enacted in 1903, and amended finally June 26, 1911. The objects of the quarantine clauses of both these laws are to prevent the introduction of harmful insects and plant diseases into the state, to provide methods of eradication should they secure a foothold, and to authorize certain agencies to adopt rules and regulations for the enforcement of the quarantine provisions. There seem to be conflicting clauses in these two acts, and their phraseology taken together is somewhat confusing. The act of 1899, for example, provides in section 4 that, "Any trees, shrubs, found infested with any species of injurious insects not existing in the orchards, vineyards, gardens or farms of California, shall be immediately sent out of the state or destroyed at the option of the owner." The act of 1911, known as the "State Commission Law," makes no distinction in the methods of handling infestations new to the state, as against insects that are brought over the border of species already established in the state. However, as there is nothing in the latter act preventing the immediate missions as quarantine guardians to the county horticultural commissioner, the deputies and inspectors appointed by him." If no other authority were given, the functions and responsibilities of these guardians would be to act as merely deputies of the state commissioner's office. But these laws authorize commissions to be issued, evidently for the purpose of giving distinctiveness and formal authority to the office of guardian. Furthermore we find in the horticultural quarantine law (1899), that certain duties are clearly set forth and delegated distinctly to the quarantine guardians. Section 1 of this act requires the quarantine guardians to be notified of the arrival of trees, shrubs, etc. when brought into the state; empowers them to make inspections, to enforce the proper marking of articles subject to inspection, and directly authorizes these officials to detain, disinfect, hold, send out of the state or destroy certain articles under stipulated conditions. In no case does the law intimate that the above-named acts shall be done under the authority or knowledge of the state commissioner. It is clear that the legislature of 1899 intended these guardians to be independent officials delegated to act upon their own judgment and responsibility, and in no way dependant upon the state commissioner except for appointment and tenure of office. It is obvious, however, that the whole scheme of our horticultural law contemplates unity and cooperation between the various horticultural offices state and county, and every one connected with these offices is expected to render service in compliance with the spirit of these laws in respect to cooperation and harmony. As to the territorial jurisdiction of the state quarantine guardian, he is delegated to patrol and perfect the county for which he is appointed, but there is nothing in the law limiting his authority to his own county. It is suggested for the good of the service that the state quarantine guardians and the county horticultural commissioners (at present represented in the same persons), keep their dual offices entirely separate. These officials should have clearly in mind the duties and prerogatives of each office; they should confer freely with the state commissioner, and with each other upon quarantine work, as should authorized and responsible elements in the service of the state and counties, commissioned with the duties of protecting and conserving "The California exhibit," Lynch in his report, "is one of the big features of this position and will undoubtedly tremendous advertisement state. The value to California exposition alone will be much cost." Mr. Lynch as manager of fornia development board a special study of immigration while in Europe, in future policy of the board. FAVOR WOMAN SUPPLEMENTS Reasons Advanced for Popularity of Sexes Editor Gazette—Women up to the present time agitation, have been supported most remotely connected in California hardships en laws are few, not because no bad laws but because better than the laws. The citations from the civil prove a need of legal reform. "The husband is her family." Civil Code Sec. "The wife must support band, when he has not done out of her separate property he has no separate property is unable from infirmity himself." Civil Code Sec. "The father of a legally married minor child is end custody, services and ease he cannot transfer such services to any other person mother, without her sent, unless she has deserved is living separate from his ment." "All property acquired rilage by either husband or otherwise than by gift, because or descent, is community." Of the nature of this tus in relation to community, the supreme court says: "It is true that member of the community titled to an equal share requests and gains; but as community exists, her im mere expectancy and posi tion of the attributes of an e at law or in equity." For court states, "The legal community property is in and. He has the absolute control of it, and th not existing in the orchards, vineyards, gardens or farms of California, shall be immediately sent out of the state or destroyed at the option of the owner." The act of 1911, known as the "State Commission Law," makes no distinction in the methods of handling infestations new to the state, as against insects that are brought over the border of species already established in the state. However, as there is nothing in the latter act preventing the immediate reshipment or destruction of new infestations authorized by the former, the provisions of the older act should prevail in cases of that character and no disinfection be given to foreign pests, except such as is necessary to lessen the danger while the quarantined articles are retraversing the state on their way out. The act of 1911 is intended to be a complete scheme to provide quarantine protection to our horticultural industries, and should be the basis for all quarantine procedure of a general nature. For handling most of the individual cases likely to occur attention is called to the provisions of the State Quarantine Law (1899) relating to marking incoming packages and holding the same by the carriers; to the provisions of section 4 of this law; to the statutory quarantine against peach yellows, rosette and certain animals detrimental to horticultural and agricultural interests. All these are useful supplements to the main law, and both acts should be carefully studied together by the officials charged with their execution. An act approved by Governor Stoneman March 13, 1883, created the state board of horticulture, consisting of nine members, one each from the seven districts designated by the measure and two from the state at large. The act empowered the board to appoint an officer known as inspector of fruit pests. This official, in cases of emergency, and the board dians and the county horticultural commissioners (at present represented in the same persons), keep their dual offices entirely separate. These officials should have clearly in mind the duties and prerogatives of each office; they should confer freely with the state commissioner, and with each other upon quarantine work, as should authorized and responsible elements in the service of the state and counties, commissioned with the duties of protecting and conserving the common weal of our greatest of soil industries. Records should be kept of every transaction, both as county commissioners and quarantine agents, that the whole service may be improved and made fully protective to the enterprises in whose behalf these offices have been created; these officers should initiate new policies and bring to bear every influence promising to advance the agricultural and horticultural interests of California. CALIFORNIA AT TURIN Exhibit One of Features of International Exposition The large success of California's exhibit in Turin at the international exposition is learned from a recent report from Robert Newton Lynch, Commissioner from this State to the Turin exposition. The California exhibit consists of nearly two hundred large jars of processed fruit including nearly every species of fruit raised in this state and preserved in a fresh condition by aid of chemicals; of a display of mineral and oil specimens; of California wines; which will enter in competition with the wines of the old world; of dried and canned fruits. Aside from this is a forestry exhibit and a collection of enlarged photographs showing typical scenic views, and the big trees of the Sierras. F court states, "The legal community property is in and. He has the absolute control of it, and that no right or title of any specific property, but a interest in whatever remains solution of the community than by her own death. Not be classified as any estate known to law." "Upon the death of the entire community proper, the separate ropety of ing husband." Civil Code "Upon the death of the one-half of the community goes to the surviving w Code Section 1402.

The exhibit has been attractively displayed and forms beyond doubt the most interesting room in the U.S. building. The processed fruit is a great curiosity and the people crowd eagerly about the room asking questions and securing literature. All of the lecturers using the stereopticon rooms, the showing California views and two lectures are given daily on the Panama canal, and the Panama-Pacific international exposition, San Francisco, 1915. As an aid to promoting the exposition in San Francisco, the government has secured and added to the California exhibit, three large models of The Canal, the Canal Zone and a working model of the canal with seats passing through it. A large sign over these models proclaims that the canal will be completed in 1914 and that the opening of that great waterway will be celebrated by the U.S. at San Francisco in 1915. California's exhibit space of 1500 square feet is decorated profusely in California popples and large palms. The literature used in connection with the display includes a specially prepared booklet written in Italian, which is virtually an abstract of the annual report of the California Development Board. "The California exhibit," says Mr. Lynch in his report, "is easily one of the big features of the entire exposition and will undoubtedly prove a tremendous advertisement for the state. The value to California's own exposition alone will be many times the cost." Mr. Lynch as manager of the Cali- Judge Waldo M. York, Judge H. S.

In an address before the woman's city club, organization of which has grown from a nucleus of a half dozen to a membership of eight hundred in less than two months. He stoutly affirms that the influence of women in all affairs is not only advisable but imperative. He said, "Women can do more with suffrage. Women should have the right to vote. They have ruled nations wisely and well, and have always improved conditions of the people over whom they reigned." The women who have a great deal of the responsibility of the management and purchasing in the large department stores of Los Angeles are the strongest of the suffrage advocates. A Los Angeles paper is publishing a symposium of opinions from the business women of the city, and almost without exception they advocate the enfranchisement of women for obvious reasons. These women are helping to bring the question to the attention of women who are under their charge. Two street-wide banners, in Los Angeles, announce to the streams of pedestrians, that headquarters for political equality leagues are open all day, every day. The Votes for Women club, with headquarters on the ground floor of the Merchants trust building on Broadway, and the political equality league, with headquarters in the Choral hall in the Auditorium on Fifth street, importuned the board of public works for permission to string the banners—with A Biblical Mathematician. An interesting problem in mathematics assumes the form of a tradition connecting itself with the name of Josephus, the Jewish historian. After the Romans had captured Potopat, so story runs, Josephus and forty others sought shelter in a cave. So afraid were they of falling into the hands of the Romans that all of them excepting Josephus and one other man resolved to kill themselves. The wit of the historian began to work, devising a scheme to save himself and this other man who was like minded with himself. He therefore proposed that they all stand in a semicircle, that they put each other to death, killing every third man in regular order and that the last surviving man should then commit suicide. This agreed upon, he was careful to place his like minded comrade in the sixteenth place in the line and himself in place thirty-one, with the result that the two were the last that were left and by this means escaped death. It is a true problem, and the question was to know before the killing began which numbers in line the two friends should assume.—Louisville Courier-Journal. His More Important Duty. The error into which King Alfred fell in that famous instance when he let the cakes left in his care burn is not going to be repeated by the telegraph operator of whom Arthur W. North tells in "Camp and Camino In Lower California." I learned at this point that for the first 500 miles before me I would require more change than I had on hand and would pass through no place where checks could be cashed. Moreover, my drafts were used up. In this dilemma I wired for money. After four days of exasperating delays I received this satisfying message from the obliging operator of the wireless office: "Operator on other coast say he FAVOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE Seasons Advanced for Political Equality of Sexes Editor Gazette—Women and law, up to the present time of suffrage legislation, have been supposed to be most remotely connected. But here in California hardships endured from laws are few, not because there are no bad laws but because men are better than the laws. The following stations from the civil code will prove a need of legal reform: "The husband is the head of the family." Civil Code Sec. 156. "The wife must support the husband, when he has not deserted her, out of her separate property, when he has no separate property, and he is unable from infirmity to support himself." Civil Code Sec. 176. "The father of a legitimate unmarried minor child is entitled to its custody, services and earnings; but he cannot transfer such custody or services to any other person, except the mother, without her written consent, unless she has deserted him or living separate from him by agreement." "All property acquired after marriage by either husband or wife, otherwise than by gift, bequest, devise or descent, is community property." Of the nature of the wife's status in relation to community property, the supreme court of California says: "It is true the wife is a member of the community and is entitled to an equal share of the requests and gains; but as long as the community exists, her interest is a mere expectancy and possesses none of the attributes of an estate either at law or in equity." Further the court states, "The legal title to the community property is in the husband. He has the absolute dominion and control of it, and the wife has Two street-wide banners, in Los Angeles, announce to the streams of pedestrians, that headquarters for political equality leagues are open all day, every day. The Votes for Women club, with headquarters on the ground floor of the Merchants trust building on Broadway, and the political equality league, with headquarters in the Choral hall in the Auditorium on Fifth street, importuned the board of public works for permission to string the banners—with "California Next" emblazoned upon them. The board, with great consideration for the voter, declared such banners would unduly influence the men, and therefore denied the permission. A thousand strong, the suffragists of Los Angeles gathered in the beautiful gardens of the John D. Hooker residence on Adams street. It was a rallying, a pledging of faith, an enrollment of new names, and an enthusiastic start for the last half of the campaign. WATER PIPE PASSING THROUGH San Diego Places Large Order with Birmingham Firm The curiosity of residents of this city may already have been, or may be aroused at any time now, by the sight of a long train of freight cars on a side track or passing through town, the cars ab loaded with long sections of waterpipe and the water pipe labelled "San Diego Exposition, 1915." The explanation of the unusual sight is this: The city of San Diego California, is preparing for the Panama-California Exposition, to be held there throughout the entire year of 1915, and one of the first great problems that confronted the San Diego city fathers was to provide an ample water system for the great fourteen hundred acre park, known as Balboa Park, which has been chosen as the site of the exposition. There is ample supply of water drawn from the watersheds in mountains back of that city, in order to distribute it through. The great park nearly eight thousand feet of cast iron waterpipe are required. In other words, this is just about fifteen miles of pipe. The contract for this pipe was given to the United States pipe company, of Birmingham, Alabama. It will require 375 flat cars to transport it to San Diego from the factory. These will be made up into thirteen trains, and these trains, in moving from Birmingham to San Diego under their charge. Sir Robert Ball told the story of a Chinaman who entered the bridge over Niagara falls. He started from the American side with the idea of crossing to Canada. On arriving at the Canadian end, however, he was met with information that there was a toll of £10 on all Chinamen coming into Canada. John hadn't 10 cents in his pocket. So he started back again. Arriving once more at the American side, he was stopped. No Chinaman in any circumstances, they told him, was allowed to enter the United States. Now, the problem that Sir Robert Ball professes himself unable to answer is: Where is that Chinaman now? Is he still on the bridge?

He does everything from cooking to answering the door, and after a little practice he does it well. The boys have all manner of strange names, usually chosen by themselves from some one or other of the words they hear often used, such as sixpence.

Civil Code Sec. 1401. "Upon the death of the husband, one-half of the community property goes to the surviving wife." Civil Code Section 1402. Many of the judges in whose judgment lies the fate of women striving to secure justice under such laws, are in favor of the very movement that will do the most for eliminating such archaic laws.

Works NO TAX INCREASE Owing to the increase of $2,250,000 in the county's assessment, it seems probable that the board of supervisors will not increase the tax rate this year.

The applications are: Santa Ana high school $26,000, Santa Ana grammar $20,000, Placentia $850, Fullerton high school $25,000, Fullerton grammar $1000, Huntington Beach $800, Buena Park $500, Orange $2400,Randolph $500, Newport Beach $800, La Habra $700.
